21000 have decreased so for instance allegations of arbitrary de privation of life. Of its foot there are far less of them than there where 3 years ago that i take of a positive sign now i would like these for city of sign to be true daughter positive sign i would like to see steps taken to ensure i contributed for past crimes i would particularly like the many disappearances of have been brought to my attention by the children the wives. The daughters and so on of minute disappeared men i would like for gods disappearances to be addressed as a matter of urgency because their Top Charities creating for the people left behind cannot be under underestimated agnes and callum are there joining us un special rapporteur thank you very much for joining us. Thank you speculations going in the u. K. About a snap election possibly before brett said Prime Minister barak has called an emergency Cabinet Meeting on a mention is expected on tuesday when m. P. s we convene after their summer break the joins us from london with the latest developments hi there lawrence so we could be i suppose getting a climax to to bricks what could it look like nonce. Yes it looks as if thats the direction certainly judy the things are now heading in that actually a garden party in downing street this just started before the Cabinet Meeting this evening for conserve them peace and to be a fly on the wall because many of these m. P. s absolutely cant stand each other now the the the soft conservatives those who greatly fear or no deal directly the queues the hard line breaks it is potentially driving the u. K. Off the economic cliff and in turn the hardliners accuse the softs moderate conservatives of being traitors who are prepared to overturn the status will of the people of the u. K. Should leave the European Union and so there really is no love lost between these 2 sides and is that division inside the conservative party that the opposition parties are now trying to exploit so there are advantages if they get their way when it comes to a vote tomorrow assuming the vote happens they think there are enough rebellious concerns then please so back them and force the government to delay leaving the European Union at the end of october potentially for some months into next year the question of course arises then if they do win the votes what does Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister do does he say well just to ignore you anyway and push on and can actually get away with that or it seems more likely does he pull the pin out of the hand grenade and a vote on holding a general election across the country which in terms would end up being a 2nd referendum theres obviously a different question about. The majority and hes in parliament to hold that election when that election might be but yes to original point is certainly off wrong this time looks like things are now heading for some sort of Climax Lawrence i wonder what the atmosphere is been like in general the atmosphere around wests at westminster has been pretty intense hasnt it what is the atmosphere like now that it looks like something finally may you know force the Prime Minister us home. Well it will since it is quite peculiar because pollen is nasty starts again until tomorrow tuesday and you know but i mean People Like Us are been busy getting our tents up and in readiness for as i have been is barely an m. P. Around but everythings happening behind the scenes youve got both sides the government sides and the rebels who now join up with all the different parties missing in secrets in war gaming what they think might happen if one side tries to move one way whats the other side likely to do and they keep trying to outflank each other the johnson side tried to outflank them last week by announcing he was going to suspend parliament for 5 weeks from next week to deny parliament the chance of doing anything and in turn the rebellious side of just pulled forward their entire opposition and said well in that case were going to force a vote this week instead and so what both sides are trying to work out now particularly is what happens if they and see no deal rebels win the votes whats Boris Johnson going to say in response so that if he if he does demand an election when do the rebels say they want to hold it will they try to have it in october before the october 31st deadline or do they try to say to him well no actually were going to get the extension of the European Union 1st and then make you hold election at some point after that so all these things are going to get decided probably at some point between lunch time choose day and close of play wednesday if the rebels cant gets the votes by then but then they wont have time to do it before parliament suspended and so theres this enormous rush now in the parliamentary timetable over the next 48 hours and its a you know as i said before i think its that things are going to have to come to a conclusion but youve got about 6 different versions of what a lot of happened if you speak to people here at the moment so many options as always.

That policy has led to boom times in vietnam its g. D. P.

Those are your current headlines you can always check out our website but later the news continues here on aljazeera after counting the cost well see a bit later but i. Hello im come out santa maria this is counting the cost on aljazeera the weekly look at the world of business and economics this week india 15. 00 of the most polluted cities in the world are on the sub continent we take a look at the health costs to one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies its also already under pressure from a trade war now the antigovernment protests could plunge hong kongs economy into recession. Reporting from the left protein islands in norway an area rich in biodiversity but also in the course of the big oil company. Hello everybody at this weeks a little different on counting the cost we have that our correspondents and documentary makers loose on a number of important economic stories big picture stuff and given them a bit more time to do so and were starting with what has become the worlds most polluted capital city in the coding to the World Health Organization and greenpeace that city is new delhi in fact 15 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in india alone clearly it cant be good for Peoples Health but how does it impact the country and its economy to 0 documentary make and how to mete as this feature report. He turns like many parents in delhi dr shell into but they already are knows that allowing his children to play outdoors comes at a cost. And is affecting a life with his. Of his place. And experience he came really was some time i have to come in the middle of the night you and my daughter who was just one month old see all 3 are together with markets doctor and one of the most polluted parts of the city and believes the air quality is made worse by emissions from a Waste Energy Plant in his neighborhood there is high level of pollution delhi and a problem there this plant so definitely even in delhi if you are staying one place although please visit difference. As a doctor he knows only too well that absolution can have lost and consequences on his familys health with the time you might have a big long. I cannot continue my excess capacity for very long because i get even a cough or anything the plant management refused to respond to our clarity on its Health Impact but none of it stop officials said in a Whatsapp Message that the plants performance met all operating parameters and is well within prescribed limits. Over a 1000000 indians died in 2017 because of fair pollution according to the global burden of disease study but the Indian Government has consistently maintained there is no direct correlation between air pollution and deaths there are multiple causes of mortality how me or been quality is the cause. It can be a trigger it certainly is a trigger in most of the cases but i think if you continue to do studies on this and come up with conclusion data it. But an increasing number of doctors say there is a clear link between absolution and deaths there is enough Data Available their air pollution kills science must continue but action should not read the reserves of scientific studies because that made 20 years and by the time the last millions of people are known or thirdly to dismiss. Air pollution has been linked to a total all lung cancer deaths in india one of its victims is priyanka chan a Digital Marketing consultant based in delhi she was diagnosed almost overnight with stage 4 lung cancer the right lung is completely damaged and the cancer has spread so much that its just not visible on the extreme when we met april this year she blamed the citys dirty air for her illness i dont foresee any other reason for lung cancer to happen to me otherwise im breathing is the most important practice that youre doing every moment and thats your source of life so the air that youre breathing if that is poor that definitely is a significant contributor for any respiratory disease her doctor also believed that pollution could have led to her terminal illness does enough evidence in the world that pollution can do that and i really wonder if that was the main chord to be true factor in hocus. Priyanka lost her battle to cancer in july 2019 less than 4 months after the interview. She had just turned 27. So. And its not just the health of people thats being affected by absolution it also affects the health of the economy if you add up the number of years who we are losing because of illness because of the productive dying and you know what these are coming out huge economic cost. India as one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies and even though its growth has slowed down it aims to be worth 5 trillion dollars over the next few years. But according to the world bank the country lost over 8 percent of its g. D. P. In 2013 because of fair pollution and latest research from the Indian Statistical Institute shows that reducing pollution would help the country gain billions frequent cut pollution to 0 every indian would be willing to pay about 300. 00 per year to cut that risk the total benefit would be about 3 or 400000000000. 00 per year which is about 10 to 15 percent of total income in india. Held on us we are not 6 able to believe. Air pollution has dominated the headlines in the country for a few years now even moving Major Political parties to included in their manifestos the government is making a push for clean energy and electric vehicles among other measures earlier this year it launched the 1st National Clean air program that aims to bring down air pollution in more than 100 cities over the next 5 years but some experts think the Program Needs more teeth they need doget without clear compliance and accountability mechanism does not work should the government approach that will collaborate to cooperate to find friendly answers that is not really going to bring the kind of push that we require to make things happen on ground. And with studies indicating that nearly 700000000 indians are exposed to polluted air theres little time to lose if we were to freeze all the legislation and do nothing now on words in 2050 roughly 130000000 people or half the population in 25 would still be exposed which exceeds our ambient air quality standards brought in our bore out of cleaner says there are lessons to be learned from how indias neighbor china has battled its notoriously high air pollution levels china.
